Saying this book is funny doesn't begin to describe it. I may have had to leave a few rooms for the amount of laughing I did. The humor comes from the author's ability to look at life in a way that is vastly different than what most would expect or perhaps most are thinking. At times she seemed to deviate from her original intention and brought up stories that didn't relate. With that said, I couldn't put the book down. Lawson does a great job of writing about serious topic but taking the stigma out of it. This is a book that will make people furiously happy, even for just a few days.
I need to stop paying attention to content others may categorize as funny or humorous.
If you are a fan of David Sedaris of Augusten Burroughs, Jenny Lawson’s humor memoirs are for you.
Silly, funny, and unbelievable tales of her life.

Auto book This was a good book for the car. I liked hearing Jenny read her story.
I was going to give this book 3.5 stars but then there were several essays which almost made me cry at work with how much their truth hit me where I live, and so...yeah. Giving credit where it is due.
From all of us down in the trenches - from me specifically - thank you, Ms. Lawson.

Parts were laugh out loud funny and other parts were not my thing. I highly recommend the audiobook as it's Jenny, herself, reading!
Super funny. I listened to this on audio and it kept me extremely entertained. Jenny Lawson is hilarious and has some interesting insights on mental illness. Her stories are so bizarre, it almost seems like fiction, but not. Her writing style gets a little repetitive, so I like listening to it so I get small doses at a time.
There are nuggets of this book that have heart and reason to all the chaos, but not as much as needed to balance the book. Some stories provide giggles, but again not as much as I hoped. There are a lot of times that the writing feels self indulgent. Lawson makes a point and then keeps going and going and going, which further distances me from the point. The writing style just isnt for me. I have to DNF.
Disappointing, I enjoyed her first book but this one didn't connect with me. I think there was one time I chuckled out loud. I got about 80% through and forced myself to finish. Too much rambling and it wasn't funny.
